Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for determining the dip angle and horizontal and vertical conductivities of a wellbore during drilling operations. If the dip angle is not known, the present invention allows for the use of multifrequency measurements and a model which maps dielectric permitivities to conductivities to calculate the horizontal conductivity, the vertical conductivity, the horizontal dielectric permitivity, the dielectric permitivity, and the dip angle. If the dip angle is known, the present invention allows a multifrequency tool to be utilized alone to calculate the horizontal conductivity, the vertical conductivity, the horizontal dielectric permitivity, and the vertical dielectric permitivity. If the dip angle is not known, a single frequency resistivity tool (as opposed to a multifrequency tool) can be utilized in combination with a model which maps dielectric permitivities to conductivities to calculate the horizontal conductivity and the horizontal dielectric permitivity.
